OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu today announced the immediate availability in Japan of FUJITSU Integrated System HA Database Ready SX2, a large-scale system designed to accommodate high-capacity databases. This will lead to an enhancement of Fujitsu's line of vertically integrated, open-standards database systems that offer high performance, exceptional reliability, and rapid setup.

HA Database Ready is a line of database systems that combine hardware and software in an optimized package designed for both business continuity and fast, reliable handling of a company's business data. Along with an interface for the open-standards database PostgreSQL(1), systems in this line use Fujitsu's own Smart Software Technology(2) so that they are ready to use the day they are installed. They can handle backups and complex recovery operations with a single click for dramatically improved operational efficiency.

The new HA Database Ready SX2 is available in a 4-CPU model, uses fast, high-capacity PCIe flash-memory storage for performance rated as high as 180,000 transactions per minute(3), a 50% improvement over previous models, and support for databases of up to 7.2-TB, a six-fold improvement compared to earlier models. It also supports post-deployment database capacity upgrades, allowing businesses to start small with future growth in mind, so that they can optimize equipment investment. These specifications make the new model ideal for everything from social infrastructure systems that require high performance and high reliability, to information systems that require high performance and high capacity to handle high-speed batch processing and data consolidation.

The new system is positioned as part of Fujitsu's vertically integrated platform, Dynamic Integrated Systems(4). Fujitsu continually works to strengthen its lineup, and this model is an important product in Fujitsu's strategic initiative that supports customers' system innovation.
